Jadeja played a crucial role in India's five-wicket victory over arch-rival Pakistan in the Asia Cup opener, besides playing India's game against Hong Kong before being ruled out of the Super 4 phase. A senior BCCI official termed his surgery a major one and had earlier ruled him out indefinitely.
But, Indian head coach Rahul Dravid was non-committal on if Jadeja could be back for the ICC T20 World Cup in Australia from October. "I don't want to rule him out, make too many comments until I have a much clearer picture or better idea, especially when the World Cup is six-seven weeks away now," Dravid noted.
